MICROALBUMIN CREATININE RATIO (BI094)

Description

The Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) test is an essential urine test used to detect early signs of kidney damage by measuring the amount of albumin relative to creatinine in urine. It is particularly valuable for individuals with diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. Small amounts of albumin in urine, known as microalbuminuria, often represent the earliest detectable sign of kidney damage and may occur long before symptoms become apparent. By correcting albumin levels against creatinine concentration, the ACR test provides a more accurate assessment of kidney health than urine albumin measurement alone. This simple, non-invasive test plays a crucial role in early diagnosis, disease monitoring, treatment evaluation, and prevention of progressive kidney failure, helping healthcare providers protect long-term renal function and overall health.
